Today, the governor included $1 million for the regional public safety training facility in Sand Creek Township. He did not veto that portion of the bill provided by the conference committee.

My understanding is that it would not close doors, but it would stop the future expansion of the facility. I am not sure of the effect on operations if the cities' funding goes by the wayside. More to come on this story.

Would that Close the doors or stop future activity? (on the RTC)

Fr. Timothy Yanta said the damage has been less than he expected when he first came into the church Monday morning to see water gushing from the ceiling. As of press time, they didn’t yet know what caused the leak.

Yanta credits the church’s good fortune to the quick responses of Jordan’s fire department and to Myron Pauly, who was praying in the adoration chapel when the pipe broke, and quickly thought to start pushing water out the door with a shovel when he saw what was happening.

The school is back in business today, but will be working without the library and computer lab, both of which should be open again by next week.

For more on the pipe break, read tomorrow’s edition of the JI.

I see a photo of the damage

I see a photo of the damage on the home page of the JI website. Do you have more photos?

Any updates? I could tell the school was open today (Wednesday) the 13th.

It really is a shame. It is such a beautiful church and school.

May not seem like much

May not seem like much money, but according to http://inflationdata.com/inflation/Inflation_Calculators/InflationCalcul..., the dollar has almost doubled in value in the past 70 years. So it's more like raising $193.03.

We had a very successful NNO in our neighborhood! It is nice to talk with Community Officers--and the kids love it! I was a little disappointed -- in our neighborhood we had 3 different parties instead of just one--not sure why?
We should all be proud of the community we live in and how hard they work to help make this event so fantastic!

I thought N.N.O. (National Night Out) went really well! It such a great chance to get out and meet those living around you and to re-connect with neighbors you may not have seen for a while.

I thought it was great to see so many people out with their neighbors last night.
